Palmer Products has outstanding bonds with an annual 8 percent coupon. The bonds have a par value of $1,000 and a price of $865.
1 answer:
The yield to maturity on the bonds is 10.0868%
<u>Explanation</u>:
Given,
Annual coupon rate = 8% = 0.08
Par value = $ 1000
Price = $ 865
N = 11 1 .
PV = $ 865
PMT = ( Par Value The coupon rate) / F
= ( 1000 0.08 ) / 1
= 80.
FV = 1000.
Financial calculator solution
the yield to maturity = I = 0.1008668

Answer:
Ans. The equilibrium rate of return on a 1-year Treasury bond is 6.65% (please check the explanation)
Explanation:
Hi, well, this type of bonds exist so people can avoid the time value of money risk, in other words, to keep money save from inflation and provide a risk free return at the same time. From a part of the text I can tell that the person who wrote it wanted to add up the risk free rate and the inflation rate, that is 3.05%+3.60% =6.65%.
This is why I wrote this answer, but the truth is that since they are both effective rates (risk free rate and inflation), they need to be add as effective rates, that is:
Therefore
So the real equilibrium rate of return is 6.76%, but for the sake of the question, I wrote 6.65%.
Best of luck.
